Keto Creamer: The Ultimate Guide To Usage

Keto coffee creamer is a sugar-free, low-carb alternative to traditional coffee creamers, which are often loaded with sugar and artificial ingredients. By making your own keto creamer, you can control the ingredients and create a delicious, creamy addition to your morning coffee.

Keto coffee creamer recipes typically include a combination of heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk, a sweetener such as erythritol or stevia, and flavourings such as vanilla or hazelnut extract. The ingredients are simply combined and heated on the stovetop, then stored in the fridge for up to a week.

With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a keto coffee creamer that is both tasty and affordable. So, why not give it a try and elevate your daily cup of coffee?

How to make keto creamer

Ingredients

To make keto creamer, you will need the following ingredients:

• Heavy whipping cream
• A sugar substitute (e.g. powdered erythritol, xylitol, Swerve, stevia, monk fruit)
• Vanilla extract
• Flavouring of your choice (e.g. hazelnut extract, cocoa powder, cinnamon)
• Milk (e.g. coconut milk, almond milk)

Optional Ingredients

For a more substantial creamer, you can add:

• Healthy fats like MCT oil, coconut oil, or grass-fed butter
• Collagen for extra protein
• Egg yolk for extra fat and nutrients

Method

• Add the cream and sweetener to a saucepan and heat over medium heat.
• Stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved (around 2-3 minutes).
• Remove from the heat and add in the vanilla extract and any other flavourings.
• Let the mixture cool.
• Store in a glass container in the fridge for up to one month.

Tips

• If you want to make a dairy-free creamer, substitute the heavy cream for canned coconut milk or almond milk, and add a thickening agent like xanthan gum.
• If you want to make a collagen creamer, add collagen powder to the mixture while it's still warm.
• If you want to add egg yolk to your creamer, whisk the egg yolks and sweetener together until light and fluffy, then gradually add the hot milk mixture.

Storing keto creamer

You can also freeze keto creamer, which is a great option if you've made a large batch. Simply pour the creamer into ice cube trays and, once frozen, transfer the cubes to a freezer bag or container. Frozen keto creamer will keep for up to three months and can be thawed overnight in the fridge or added directly to hot coffee to melt.

If you're buying keto creamer, check the packaging for storage instructions. Some store-bought keto creamers don't need to be refrigerated and can be stored in the pantry, but always check the label to be sure.

It's important to note that the shelf life of homemade keto creamer will depend on the expiration date of the ingredients used, so be sure to use fresh ingredients and consume the creamer within a reasonable timeframe.

Flavouring keto creamer

There are many ways to flavour keto creamer, and the best part is that you can make it at home!

• Vanilla extract: Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract for a basic creamer, or get creative and make a French vanilla creamer by adding 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 vanilla bean.
• Hazelnut extract: Use hazelnut extract instead of vanilla for a nutty twist. You can also use keto brown sugar as the sweetener.
• Pumpkin spice: Add a dash of pumpkin pie spice blend to your creamer for a seasonal touch. If you want to go all out, add some pumpkin puree too!
• Chocolate: Add 2-3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. For an extra indulgent touch, try using keto-condensed milk as your sweetener.
• Cinnamon: Add 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon for a simple yet delicious flavour.
• Caramel: Replace 1 tablespoon of sweetener with 2 tablespoons of keto caramel for a sweet and indulgent treat.
• Italian sweet cream: Add 1/2 teaspoon of butter extract and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for a creamy, sweet flavour.
• Mocha: If you're a coffee lover, try adding 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to your creamer.

The options are endless, so feel free to experiment with different extracts, spices, and sweeteners to find your perfect combination. You can also add healthy fats like MCT oil, coconut oil, or grass-fed butter to your creamer for an extra boost of energy.

To make your flavoured keto creamer, simply combine the ingredients in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the sweetener has dissolved. Remove from the heat and let it cool before transferring it to a glass jar or bottle for storage. Your flavoured keto creamer will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to one month.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy keto creamer!
